Clean Slate

I'm just a girl from the natural state
Did things in life that were a mistake
Getting high and cleared the slate
Many times it was worth the wait
After time i would hesitate
Never mind that would change
Ok
Oh wait
Now it's too late
I'd clean the plate, then bake
Ok
Oh wait
This time was just too fake
For fuck sake
What was I doing in this blank space
No pace, just me and my up ranks
In life there was a job, what job?
Oh sob
Everything in my mind is just a brain fog
I would rob everything I had in life including my door knob
I felt like a slob
I would crop the things in life like they didn't matter
What's even sadder I had a ladder
That was a collateral
That was compatible with the necessities
That gave me the ability to be free
Can you see
Remember me?
I was a utility
Didn't you need me?
I guaranteed you the ability to seek what was most important
All you gave me was torment
Along with that my horn went
According to you there was assortment
To you work wasn't important
Clearly to you that wasn't absorbent
In life there was no enforcement
Clearly I knew it was all worth it
Life was fun so I didn't force it
What did you expect me to do forfit?
Obviously things were more important
But I just ignored
So what, everything seemed legit
Now is the time for reinforcements
The endorsements
That took a course with it
Life was a shame now work with it
Your collateral is intangible
Now it's on you to make it manageable
Without this it's indefatigable
Literal, visual, life is no longer invisible
Open your eyes this is your life now
Bow to your life and reap what you sow
For now things will start to show
Look at your up ranks
For fuck sake
Ok
Oh wait
Never mind that will change
Ok
Oh wait
Now it's too late
They clean the plate, then bake
Ok
Oh wait
This time was just too fake
For fuck sake
What was I doing in this blank space
No place, not me, just my up ranks
Nothings the same
It's all a shame
Forget your fame
It was all a game
They don't care nor will they
They'll have to pay
Not your pain
Just their flame
Yours will go away
Now pick up your pieces
Paint your masterpiece
Elements of life increase as bad things recede
Believe me for the best of you
Things in life you will start to peruse
Don't forget to include your faith
Now that your wide awake
You'll find your fate
Open your gate
And walk that clean slate
